Managers and users

Managers and users

Is there a way for a manager (or teacher) to add users to Moodle (2.5)? With my default settings it seems that only admins can add users?

My wish list: I have a number of courses with separate groups. I want course teachers/managers to add their own users into their groups (and I don't want other teachers to see their students or get notification emails about their assignments, etc).

I have looked at a few posts so far but I'm still scratching my head. Any help or guidance appreciated!

Thanks,
JL

Hello Jason,

managing user accounts is a functionality available to roles in the site context. For example, a default manager role in the site context is able to add/modify users, while the same default role in category or course context is not.

If you want you can create a role that has capability to just manage users accounts and assign that role to defined users , however that role must be a site context role and will be able to manage all users accounts regardless of the user who actually created accounts.

Thanks Andrea, so is there no way to manage users in a course/category context?

If you mean adding/editing user profiles and referring to a core Moodle code, then no, you need to assign a role with proper user profiles management capabilities in the site context.
